*******

I tried to access your "Rabbit and Snake" clip.  Nothing happens.

 

Janet

Hello Janet:

You may need to update your Flash as I had similar problems last week..

******* ... I am not sure what you mean but ... I will find out.

The forum is sooo slow this morning.

Well ... I lost at a game of Scrabble against my neighbour the other day and ... I am about to treat her to lunch ... restaurant of her choice.

 

Prior to our next game ... I am going to have a couple cups of strong caffeinated coffee ... that should clear the cobwebs.  I already have my restaurant of choice all picked out and .... it will be her treat.

 

******* ... I hope the new job is going well.  I assume you are all settle in your new home and ... it is now furnished. 

Janet

Hi Janet : I had a similar problem viewing some media until I updated my flash player.

Job is going great but the home is not furnished yet..I am half way there though..Just need a table for the kitchen,couches and a few lamps..Of course a Washer and Dryer also It's just me and I started out with nothing so I am slowly collecting furniture

Texasmom ... "I am a Promise" is Takara's favorite song.  She is constantly singing or humming this song ... singing or humming complete off tune.

 

Daddy has videotaped it to show her years from now when she can laugh at it too.

All three of her brothers can sing beautifully but ... they never sing unless "forced"

I AM A PROMISE

I am a promise
I am a possibility
I am a promise with a capital "P"
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin' to hear God's voice
And I am tryin' to make the right choice
I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be.

I can go anywhere that He wants me to go
I can be anything He wants me to be
I can climb the high mountains
I can cross the wide sea
I'm a great big promise you see!

I am a promise

Anything God wants me to be!

I'm not sure where to put htis but I had to share this picture of my Grand puppy
He's a 8 week old pomeranian puppy and he is running the house lol
 

[Blonde]

He was playing outside then shook himself all over my office 

Yes I dusted after he went home, the flames for the electric fireplace kept him quite for a while.

I had to chuckle reading this. My B-I-L retired, sold his belongings and moved across the country with his dog, a TV and tool box in a old RV that he bought.  He camped out for a few weeks when he reached his destination until he found a home to suit him and started out with the camper seats and a microwave donated by relatives. He hit yard sales for a TV stand and recliner and later a table and chairs when he knew "company" was coming and he needed a place for people to sit.  It has been almost 4 years and he is still lives with bare-bones necessities and I envy his uncluttered existence.

He's sooooo cute! 

[Peaches]

That puppy is really cute. 

*******, you are in an enviable position right now.  You can get exactly what you want and hold out for it if you have to because you're living without it now.  Make sense?  Take your time.  Get what you really want.

Corny but cute IMO

Potato Family Values

Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out

and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!

But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe, Mr and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland .

And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University ) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw!

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just......

Are you ready for this?


Are you sure?

OK! Here it is!

Hellooooo Peaches!!! 

That story by oldencrabby sound like me..lol Your right about that,I already turned down 2 couches and a Pink Recliner  Theres a big college here and the semester ends soon..It should be like Christmas for furniture shopping 

NM: I saw your post earlier and I hope everything works out for you!..A new fresh start is what we all need sometimes!! My courage to take a chance came because life was passing me by and I was miserable...My decision came because I needed to do something for myself for once instead of always doing it for others...Procrastinating and watching the Months/Years/Days pass by is no way to live    I hope you too can make the right move. Thanks!

*******,

This weekend all new living room furniture was delivered to my home.  My husband said he was going to cut up the old recliner and chair/ottoman and burn them.  I said look, put all three out front by the driveway and let's see how long it takes before they are gone.  We live on a very busy road-nothing lasts for long here.  Well within fifteen minutes a woman stopped and took the ottoman (said she was going to upholster it) and then 5 minutes later 2 young boys stopped and asked if they could have the rest.  I told them they were not in good shape (my husband said they were just getting broke in).  Well they took the rest.  As my husband said "One man's junk is anothers gold".

 A little laff :  I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients
 were shouting , '13....13....13'
 The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks
 and looked through to see what was going on.
 Some bastard poked me in the eye with a stick.
 Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

OK. Now I am getting worried.  Where is Klaas?  Has anyone checked on her lately?  Do I need the bat signal...I mean the monkey signal?

[Dugga]

Hi, monkeys... Remember me? 

Klaas is very, very sick at the moment. Please keep her in your prayers.

As soon as I have an update on her condition, I will let you guys know.

I would imagine, knowing Klaas, that the very moment that she's able to get online, she'll appear here!

Keep lifting her up, and if I hear from her before you all do, I will let you know.

[Observer]

Hello Dugga..Please keep us posted!!!!! Klaas is missed big time!!!!!!!!
